summary of experience
Gary is a town planner with 16 years’ professional experience gained through public and private sector roles. This experience has taken him to the
United Kingdom as well as the Cities of Stonnington, Yarra and Glen Eira in metropolitan Melbourne. He has spent over eight years in the private
sector working across metropolitan, peri-urban, coastal and rural projects.
Gary has managed a diverse range of statutory planning projects including mixed use and residential developments, commercial and retail projects,
a range of liquor license and entertainment venues, education and institutional projects as well as telecommunications and infrastructure projects.
Much of Gary’s expertise lies in advocacy work and he routinely represents the public and private sector at VCAT and public meetings, providing
professional and balanced advice.
In addition to his statutory planning work, Gary maintains a keen interest in strategic planning. He has worked on several land use strategies, with a
focus on the coastal regions of Victoria. His strategic experience also extends to hansen’s work in Vietnam
